This property was in a great location to Big Springs and Van Buren. It also, had a wonderful view from the patio, kitchen, living room and bedroom. In the morning there are thin clouds over the woods and it looks like your sittin above the clouds.
We were in town for a wedding and wanted a unique place to stay. This place fit the bill. Very short drive to Big Spring and the Current River. We really enjoyed watching the hummingbirds on the property. We were well taken care of and all our needs were met. Also a beautiful view! I wouldn’t mind staying here again.
We arrived later than expected and missed the driveway. I messaged Heather at 11 pm and she quickly called me and was going to walk to the end of the drive to help us get to where we needed to be. We got there and situated, she was super sweet. I messaged her the next day to ask a question and she responded quickly to answer me. We enjoyed every minute there, and her apartment, the outside and scenery was beautiful. I will be booking to stay here again.
This is a super cute property with a great view for morning coffee. They have a gas stove - which allowed me to make the boys the s’mores I promised when a fire wasn’t feasible due to a storm blowing in The apartment had everything we needed and we would certainly go back. Thank you! The owners were responsive and friendly, and we were able to get in a little early when we arrived sooner than expected. Also, all four of us were able to get hot showers when we got back from a long day in n the river, which I personally appreciated since I was the last one through lol.

Loved our stay. Super cute, close to everything we wanted to do, yet out far enough for that country feel. Spectacular view of the mountains and Current River. Will stay here again and will recommend to others.
My husband and I had a great weekend getaway. This place is great for the price. The owners were so great and communication was so easy. We would definitely stay here again!
This place was very clean. Very awesome views on top of the skyline. Great location and very homey vibes. Had a great time will definitely be back! Thank you!
Awesome location, incredible views. Clean and included all necessary amenities for our stay. Great communication with the host and incredibly accommodating. Would highly recommend.

About the host
Hosted by Heather and Christian Fox
We have been enjoying the outdoors and the town of Van Buren, Missouri for years. We are excited to continue the tradition of the previous owners of renting the apartment to others so that they, too, can enjoy all that the Ozark National Scenic Riverways area has to offer.
Why they chose this property
We feel very fortunate that the former owners retired to another part of the country just at the right time for our family. After spending many years in and around Van Buren, we are excited to be a part of this community and continue to enjoy the river, the hiking, the fishing, and more for years to come.
What makes this property unique
The view here is spectacular and the location cannot be beat. We are close to amenities yet are more secluded than a hotel. With the full kitchen and outdoor grill, guests can make themselves at home.
